Wilderness areas have traditionally been a resource base for subsistence based economy of rural communities. As a result of continuous removal of resource base from the natural stocks, these forests cannot be compared in their richness with the protected area systems which have specially been designated to provide adequate protection for the conservation of wildlife.

Yet it has been established from the account of ecological importance of the natural systems en route the project and the conservation significance that these areas command that with little protection afforded, these areas have the potential to support rich and varied wildlife. Considering this fact, recommendations have been made by the Wildlife Institute of India for the inclusion of some of the better stocked valley forests into the protected area network. The establishment of atleast one conservation unit representative of the values of Western Ghat systems in the Borghat area would go a long way in conserving the biological diversity of the area.
